	Media	Author	Review
		Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"Keeping track of the myriad primary and secondary figures takes close attention (...) But there’s an admirable dot-connecting quality to '1987', akin to HBO’s 'The Wire'"
		Maggie Lee Variety	"Directed by Jang Joon-hwan with a combination of humanistic ardor and intelligent insight (...) This is a compelling depiction of how brave individuals from all walks of life mobilized a whole nation"
